HC Deb 11 November 1959 vol 613 c43W
43. Mr. McKay

asked the Postmaster-General, in view of the progress made in the building of shops on the Longbenton Estate, on what date he expects work to start on the post office, the opening of which has been promised by the time the shopping centre is completed.

Miss Pike

I am glad to be able to tell the hon. Member that a sub-post office was opened in the shopping centre of unit 4 of the estate of 27th October; in view of the great interest which he has shown in this matter, I am sorry the hon. Member was not told about the date of opening as soon as it was known.
